บท 24: First day as a "contractor" [Part One]
Yo, author here
So, I have something to talk about with you, the chapters will come out every three days instead of two from now on, and the reason for that is quite valid in my opinion.
I want to improve my English, so I don't make any more grammatical mistakes and I don't need to translate and I also want to improve my writing, watching tutorials on YouTube or something similar and practicing
In fact, in addition to English, I intend to learn other languages such as Japanese, French, Chinese, Korean and Spanish, with a focus on English of course, and I also intend to learn how to draw, since I want to launch a manga in the future, will it work? Probably not, but I'll try anyway.
Actually, I was also thinking that if I learned to draw I could make my own illustrations for my stories, like a manga frame for certain scenes, that would be cool.
Anyway, these extra days will help me study these things, if I'm not too tired or being a lazy bum, of course.
In short, you'll get two chapters a week instead of four, that's it.
Enjoy reading, rejoice and...
See you all on next time

[Pov: 3rd person]
[Sunday, eight o'clock in the morning]
Inside his room, Micael finished drying himself with a towel.
Drying his hair last, he threw the towel on the bed and went to the wardrobe.
Taking some black underwear and shorts, he put them on, then put on deodorant and put on a brown short-sleeved shirt, putting on some perfume afterwards.
The shorts he wore were made of a lighter material, as he would possibly have to fight later, the shirt didn't matter because he would take it off, and the perfume, well, there's nothing wrong with being a man who smells good.
Putting on his slippers, he moved in front of the mirror, seeing how good his clothes looked on him, especially the t-shirt that was a little tight on the shoulders, chest and back that highlighted his muscles, he nodded to himself with satisfaction.
"As always, I'm a hot guy."
Giving himself a thumbs up in his reflection, he grabbed the towel from the bed and carried it with him as he left the room.
Descending the stairs in quick steps, he went to the "laundry room" of his house and threw the towel into a laundry basket, putting a wet towel with dry clothes wasn't cool, but as Myako said it was okay, so it was fine.
Leaving and heading towards the door, he passed through the kitchen and said goodbye to Myako.
"Bye Myako, I'll be back at lunch time."
"Where are you going?"
She asked as he passed her, lifting her head and looking away from the cutting board to him.
Without turning around, he replied while waving his arm
"I'm going to see someone, bye."
"Is it a girl?"
She asked as he continued walking away.
"Yes."
Responding as he passed through the living room, he said goodbye to his father and Mari who was there too.
"Bye dad, I'll be back at lunch time, bye Mari."
His father just grunted in response as Mari turned her head to look in his direction with a spoon of ice cream in her mouth.
"Hmm."
"Mm?"
With him already approaching the door, Myako came from the kitchen asking.
"Wait, what do you mean you're going to see a girl?"
Micael replied, but didn't stop walking, reaching the door and opening it.
"It's work, bye."
He waved a final goodbye and closed the door on the other side.
Myako had her hand outstretched and her mouth slightly open as she was about to say something, but the boy left without even giving her time.
Then, huffing, her hands went to her waist as she spoke.
"Humph, this little one."
Then, looking at Francisco who was sitting relaxed on the sofa, she spoke.
"Was this the education you gave your son?"
And he, listening to Myako, just looked at her before returning his gaze to the TV as he replied while shrugging his shoulders.
"I don't know, ask his stepmother."
Upon hearing Francisco's response, Myako squinted her eyes as she said.
"Very funny, Francisco, very funny."
In response, the man just smiles slightly as he looks at her.
Shaking her head, she returned to the kitchen as she spoke.
"Did he tell you anything?"
"No, you don't need to worry, just ask him when he comes back, you know how secretive he is about the things he does."
Francisco answered her in a calm tone, reassuring her.
However, Myako's response didn't sound like a reassured mother.
"How can I not be worried? I'm his mom, it's my job to be worried, especially since his dad doesn't seem to care!"
She spoke loudly, shouting from the kitchen.
Rolling his eyes, Francisco muttered.
"Yeah yeah, there's no need to shout either, I'm not deaf."
"What? Did you say something?"
"Nothing, my love, I didn't say anything."
Leaving aside the interaction between Francisco and Myako, that type being quite common in this house, a certain girl sitting on the other sofa remained in an unsettling silence.
Silently blinking her eyes with an oddly neutral face, Mari stopped eating her ice cream as she was lost in thought.
She sat in that position, with her legs raised close to her chest, remaining silent and still, staring into space, ignoring everything around her.
Then, she squinted her eyes, as if she had decided something.
Picking up the spoon and going back to eating the ice cream, she remained like that as she went back to watching TV, what she was thinking only she knew.
But one thing was certain, this would definitely cause headaches for Micael.
...
It had been a few minutes since he had left the house, Micael was walking towards the school.
What he would do was obvious, he would discuss the details of their partnership with Rias, and as yesterday they said goodbye without exchanging any contact, Micael decided to go straight to the school and talk to her, he figured there would be no problem doing so.
Then, after a few minutes of silent walking, he found himself in front of the school gates, which were obviously closed.
Looking silently at the gates and then at the high walls, Micael intended to jump over them.
But instead of doing so immediately, he moved his hands to cover his eyes, leaving just a small space between his fingers and then activated his power, making his eyes glow blue for a moment with what appeared to be a gear covering his irises.
Then, deactivating his power, he lowered his hands as he muttered.
"As I thought."
That comment was him referring to the magical barrier covering the school he saw in that brief moment.
For some reason he wasn't sure, the Byakugan couldn't see the barrier, as he had already tried that on thursday, but he couldn't see anything.
And this made him doubt whether the school had any barrier or not, or more precisely if it had some self-protection that prevented it from being detected so easily, but now using another power he can confirm that there was indeed a barrier covering the school.
Which means he may not be able to climb over the wall, or if he can, the people inside will be warned.
Scratching his chin thoughtfully, he wondered if he should jump over the wall or if he should use obito's kamui and cross the barrier, that's how he went unnoticed through the leaf village, wasn't it?
But also, using kamui just to cross the barrier seemed a little unnecessary, not to mention that he didn't even know if he could do that with his current power level.
If he manages to cross the barrier by simply jumping over the wall, he runs the risk of alerting Sona...but considering he already has a contract with Rias, Sona finding out about him currently won't make a difference.
Shrugging, he decided to do it anyway, whatever it is, he'll deal with it.
Then, moving to a part of the wall where no one was around, confirming this using his power and making sure that there were no cemaras pointed in his direction, he crouched down in preparation.
Using his power, he jumped a height of nearly three meters until he approached the top of the wall and using his hands to grab it.
Hanging for a moment, he pulled his arms back and climbed up the wall, sitting down after climbing up while looking at the floor on the other side.
Not feeling any type of impediment despite being practically on top of the barrier that started from the wall, he prepared to descend.
Then, activating his power again, he descended from the wall, lowering his body and jumping, landing on the ground on his feet.
Brushing the dirt off his hands, he looked at the wall before looking around, seeing no one around, he began walking towards the old building.
As he walked, he wondered if he would be approached by someone, specifically if someone of some peerage would come to check on the intruder with an aggressive approach, with weapons in hand or magic circles in this case.
However, as he walked, nothing like that happened, in fact the place was strangely silent to the point where he wondered if there was really anyone there.
But he knew he wasn't alone, there were people in both the old building and the school building, he had checked with the Byakugan, but they apparently had no interest in him.
It made him wonder if Rias was already waiting for him, which would be really impressive, but he highly doubted that was the case, not that he was dismissing her intelligence, but she wasn't an Aizen either.
So, with doubts and wondering if they really were so relaxed that they hadn't noticed him or for some reason were simply ignoring him, he ended up arriving in front of the old building.
Approaching the door with silent steps and eyes wandering randomly, Micael moved his hand to knock on the door, but when he was a few centimeters away the door opened.
When the door opened, a familiar smiling face appeared, with the girl greeting him.
"Hello~ Micael-kun, how are you? Good morning, by the way~."
With his hand still outstretched in surprise from the sudden opening of the door, he slowly lowered it and greeted the girl with a calm wave of his hand.
"Good morning to you too, Akeno, and I'm fine, thanks for asking."
The girl nodded in recognition, still with a smile on her face and replied.
"You're welcome~"
Stepping back and opening the door wider for him to enter, she said.
"Come in."
Taking a step forward and passing through the door, Micael spoke.
"Excuse me."
With Akeno closing the door after he passed, she started walking towards the stairs while saying.
"Follow me."
And Michael did as requested, silently following the girl up the stairs, probably towards Rias' office or the occult research club room.
Silently following behind the girl not far from her as she walked up the stairs, he wondered if she had any other clothes since despite it being the weekend the girl was still wearing her school uniform.
Not that the uniform was ugly or anything, maybe she treated the uniform as some kind of work clothes? It would make sense if that were the case.
And in the anime it would make sense for the characters not to change their clothes often because it was difficult to design clothes, and to animate them even more so, but in real life? He didn't think wearing the same clothes so often was normal.
But that didn't even matter in the end, if the girl wanted to wear the same clothes it was her problem, after all he had nothing to do with it, but he was curious, maybe he should ask about it?
With these idle thoughts running through his head, he soon found himself in front of a double door.
With Akeno standing in front of the double doors in front of them, she pushed one of the doors open and gestured for him to enter.
As he walked through the door, he found himself inside what he remembered to be that office from the anime, with the sofas and a table in the middle and the larger table in the corner of the wall on the other side.
And at that moment the two sofas were occupied by one person each.
"Sit down, please, I'll get you some tea."
Walking past him, Akeno spoke as she headed towards one of the doors on the other side of the room.
Micael then moved and sat calmly on one of the sofas, a little away from the person next to him.
Turning his head toward her, he greeted her.
"Good morning, Toujou-san."
With the girl turning her head towards him upon hearing him, he saw how she nodded slightly with a neutral face and returned the greeting with an equally neutral voice in a soft tone.
"Good mornig."
Returning the nod, he looked away from her to the other sofa towards someone else and greeted him as well.
"Good morning, Yuuto-san."
"Good mornig, Alves-san."
When greeting the boy in front of him, Yuuto reciprocates with a brief nod of his head with a slight smile on his face.
Looking silently at the boy's face, Micael thought in his mind.
'Now that I'm seeing this guy up close, I can understand why he's so popular.'
